OVER vale and torrent farA
Rolls along the sun's bright carA
Ah he wakens in his courseB
-
Mine as thy deep seated smartC
-
In the heartC
Ev'ry morning with new forceB
-
Scarce avails night aught to meD
E'en the visions that I seeD
Come but in a mournful guiseE
-
And I feel this silent smartC
-
In my heartC
With creative pow'r ariseE
-
During many a beauteous yearF
I have seen ships 'neath me steerF
As they seek the shelt'ring bayG
-
But alas each lasting smartC
-
In my heartC
Floats not with the stream awayG
-
I must wear a gala dressH
Long stored up within my pressH
For to day to feasts is givenI
-
None know with what bitter smartC
-
Is my heartC
Fearfully and madly rivenI
-
Secretly I weep each tearJ
Yet can cheerful e'en appearF
With a face of healthy redK
-
For if deadly were this silent smartC
-
In my heartC
Ah I then had long been deadK
-
THE MOUNTAIN CASTLEL
-
THERE stands on yonder high mountainI
-
A castle built of yoreM
Where once lurked horse and horsemanI
-
In rear of gate and of doorM
-
Now door and gate are in ashesN
-
And all around is so stillO
And over the fallen ruinsP
-
I clamber just as I willO
-
Below once lay a cellarQ
-
With costly wines well stor'dR
No more the glad maid with her pitcherQ
-
Descends there to draw from the hoardR
-
No longer the goblet she placesN
-
Before the guests at the feastS
The flask at the meal so hallow'dT
-
No longer she fills for the priestS
-
No more for the eager squireU
-
The draught in the passage is pour'dR
No more for the flying presentV
-
Receives she the flying rewardR
-
For all the roof and the raftersW
-
They all long since have been burn'dX
And stairs and passage and chapelL
-
To rubbish and ruins are turn'dX
-
Yet when with lute and with flagonI
-
When day was smiling and brightY
I've watch'd my mistress climbingZ
-
To gain this perilous heightY
-
Then rapture joyous and radiantV
-
The silence so desolate brakeA2
And all as in days long vanish'dB2
-
Once more to enjoyment awokeC2
-
As if for guests of high stationI
-
The largest rooms were preparedD2
As if from those times so preciousE2
-
A couple thither had faredD2
-
As if there stood in his chapelL
-
The priest in his sacred dressH
And ask'd Would ye twain be unitedF2
-
And we with a smile answer'd YesH
-
And songs that breath'd a deep feelingZ
-
That touched the heart's innermost chordR
The music fraught mouth of sweet echoG2
-
Instead of the many outpour'dR
-
And when at eve all was hiddenI
-
In silence unbroken and deepH2
The glowing sun then look'd upwardsI2
-
And gazed on the summit so steepH2
-
And squire and maiden then glitter'dR
-
As bright and gay as a lordR
She seized the time for her presentR
-
And he to give her rewardR

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
